Britain's Best Racing Cyclist

The votes from our ad hoc SPoTY vote are in and Cookie, Sir Chris and Cav were the overwhelming favourites...we like them all here at Cycling Plus, but who's best? Nicole was in the year below Gavin Henson at Byrnteg Comprehensive, Chris loves Bran Flakes ("On yer bike...") and Mark used to enjoy ballroom dancing. There's only one way to find out...f...oh alright another poll.

For me the overall best must be Nicole, but I believe Mark as the ability to become one of the greatest names in cycling.

Yeah, and that Cippolini - he wasn't a bike racer cos he couldn't ride hills...
Cav will get better and better - and given boonen's comments about 'Cav can't win the Paris Roubaix' I'd love to see him stuff that one down his neck as well

Beryl Burton?
Tommy Simpson?
"Cancel my subscription to the resurrection."
Cavs won more prologues on the road than Wiggins
Yes because without him there would be no doping control whatsoever. :twisted:
we are the proud, the few, Descendents.
Panama - finally putting a nail in the economic theory of the trickle down effect.
a bit like asking who is the best motorcyle racer - Valentino Rossi, Stefan Everts or Nicki Pedersen
Got to be Rossi, the other two are made up aren't they?

Today it's Roger Hammond.
Pure class. Always was, always will be.
As cool as Pantani, as classy as Stephen Roche and as briliant (and cantankerous) as Robin Guthrie - that other great Glaswegian.
P.S. I've met Roger Hammond a few times and he's my pick of the current crop.
But so did Millar...
Nah, leave Cav as he is, he's much more entertaining that way, as was Millar in his time.
Agree with this. PMSL when he went the wrong way on the sprint up some Tour hilltop finish!
...and when I read the bits about how he (allegedly) lives now, out came the ROFLcopters!
I voted Nicole. Met her briefly at her homecoming in Wick. No ego - just a nice girl that rides a bike better than any other girl in the world.
